Por the first faint glimmer of dawn, 
Unci now with rapturous longing, speeds 



)o welcome 



the ohristma 



s morn. 



^ptretcping his arms in affection wide, 
dphe beautiful one to embrace. 

Who wears for his coming a golden smiie, 
While crimson flushes her face.

Oalls to tbe dear one true, 
" kj \ come, my love for tbe sun is up, 

Olnd I ve waited so long for you.

U obnstmas melody pours. 
Whose wonderful music floats afar, 

Unci high. m its echoing, soars.

Und the Christmas time is a golden time, 

Hon happiness reigns with all. 
Un high and lowly alike it beams, 

Unmeasured its blessings fall.
